   You have a torsion bar not springs at the back so that will need lowering yes. You can use springs with the standard shocks but it will reduce ride quality and the life of the shocks.

   Springs are about £50-£90 depending on what you get..
   
   You will pay about £60 maybe more for someone to lower the back for you..

   £50 to £90 for springs depending what make and how much you want to lower by
   
   For the torsion bar to be down about £60 to £100

   springs are relatively easy from what i've heard but torsions bars are best left to a mechanic i think.

    Mine was £80 for lowering the whole car. I got the springs in myself from Koni but I don't rate them so I have changed to a spax full sus kit (60mm). That was £175, well worth the money imo
